2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LD19 ACZ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on its official record. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 49,429 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2022, indicating a car that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is typical for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,061 miles per year. Usage patterns appear steady, with a notable increase in annual distance between the April 2022 test at 22,620 miles and the April 2023 test at 34,455 miles. Since then, the accumulation has slowed, adding only 3,727 miles between November 2024 and September 2025. There are no irregular mileage jumps or gaps that suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. The record shows no history of structural integrity failures or underside corrosion, which are common concerns for vehicles of this age. A physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that MOT testers often overlook if they meet minimum legal limits. Check the remaining tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the brake pads to determine if they will require replacement soon. Verify the service history stamps to ensure the oil and filter changes align with the clean MOT record, as the DVSA data confirms roadworthiness but does not track internal engine maintenance.
